Crazy Talk and Sometimes Socks
The wife and I have a weekly tradition as of late, where we spend our early Saturday afternoon--or occasionally Sunday, schedule permitting--doing the weekly grocery shopping along with whatever other errands are required by life in 2022. We started the practice maybe a year or so ago, when we finally got tired of having our … Continue reading The American Grocery Experience Of Doom
I'd like to take minute with today's post to wish everyone out there a very Merry Christmas from me, the Puddinette, the kids, Smoky, and these outstanding Santa socks. I hope you found your stocking, socks, and hearts all full today, and that they stay that way throughout the holidays and the rest of the … Continue reading Santa Socks Are Coming To Town
Twas the night before Christmas and earlier, before Mass, I took a shot of the altar with my socks, like an...jerk When I showed the Puddinette today's picture, she immediately cocked an eyebrow at me and suggested my afterlife was likely destined for a, um, warmer climate. Ok, yeah, so maybe I did take off … Continue reading A Focus On What’s Important
Daughter played the role of Cratchit today in "Bah, Humbug," a music theater adaptation of A Christmas Carol (which may, in fact, be my favorite piece of Christmas storytelling in literary history). Her mean ole dad -- that's is, me -- would never admit it, but there might have even been a little moisture in … Continue reading I’ll Drink His Health, For Your Socks, And The Day’s Socks, But Not For His
Being Christmas day, the Puddinette are I, and of course all the puddinlings, are hanging out with extended family and making quite merry.

A fabulous dinner is in the offing, (one of those belt-busters, if you know … Continue reading Happy Christmas to all and to all a good…adaptation (or two)
This is by no means a new topic of complaint around here, but if you look at the picture to left, which I grabbed barely a moment ago from my desktop, you'll see that the high temperature today is supposed to reach 54 degrees. That's Fahrenheit to you and me, Russ. Oh, also, the sun … Continue reading Weekend Debate: Rudolph Car Decorations
So, the plan was to start Tunes Test Tuesday today with an in-depth appraisal of the Tron: Legacy soundtrack by Daft Punk. I totally could write that now because I’ve been listening to it for two weeks. But here’s the thing: I don’t really have time today to do it justice, and I don’t want … Continue reading Tunes Test Tuesday: Christmas by Michael Bublé
It's amazing the difference you see in putting one's three children to bed on Christmas Eve and then 24 hours later on Christmas night. Last night I nearly had to resort to bribery for them to calm down and go to sleep so that Santa could do his important works. Tonight, after a full day … Continue reading God Bless Us, Every One
